Charity is buying peaches at the store. The cost of the peaches are $1.30 per pound. If she has $6.50 to spend on peaches, how many pounds (x) can she buy?

Question

Set up an equation to solve the problem.
A. 1.30x=6.50
B. 1.30+x=6.50
C. 1.30 over 6.50 =x
D. 6.50x=1.30

Answer 1

To solve for the number of pounds (x) of peaches Charity can buy, you can set up the equation based on the cost per pound and the total amount she has to spend.

The cost per pound is $1.30, and she has a total of $6.50 to spend. Thus, the equation to represent this situation is:

\[ 1.30x = 6.50 \]

So, the correct answer is:

A. 1.30x = 6.50
